The Circle is a 2000 Iranian drama directed by Jafar Panahi, made with Italy and Switzerland. Told through interconnected stories of women navigating daily life in Iran, largely with a cast of amateur actors, the film criticizes the treatment of women in Iranian society and is constructed as a series of interwoven narratives that circle back to its opening scene. It won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival but remains banned in Iran.
